Child Product Recall Issued For Infant Gas Medicine
Johnson & Johnson-Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co recalled about 12,000 units of Mylicon drops to relieve gas for infants. According to this article, certain bottles of nonstaining Mylicon gas-relief dye-free drops were recalled because some bottles could include pieces of metal. The recalled children's product was sold in 1-ounce plastic bottles that were distributed to stores and pharmacies after Oct. 5. They were sold over the counter.
The recalled bottles are from lot numbers SMF007 and SMF008, which are printed on the bottom of the box and on the lower-left side of the sticker on each bottle.
The companies said that some bottles could include metal fragments that were generated during the manufacturing process.
The article stated that if any medical events were to occur, most are expected to be temporary and resolve without medical treatment, according to a release from the companies. Parents who have given the defective pharmaceutical product to their infant and are concerned should contact their healthcare provider immediately.
